The number of players standing around almost outnumbered those putting in work Monday at McMahon Stadium.

Jon Cornish was resting.

Keon Raymond was nursing a minor leg injury.

Charleston Hughes carried his helmet around, similar to the way he’s been carrying the defence lately.

You know the Calgary Stampeders are short a few bodies when punter Rob Maver is running down on kickoff coverage.

But the good news is that most of the maladies appear to be minor, and maintenance days were on tap for most of the banged-up Stamps.

“I just took a vet day,” Raymond said. “There’s nice sun outside. I didn’t bring my sunglasses and I didn’t have a nice fruity drink with an umbrella. It was just about resting up a bit.”

Stamps roundup

SB Greg Carr was released Monday, ending his two-month stint in Calgary after he was released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders early in the season.

“Unfortunately, I needed to get more speed into the lineup,” Hufnagel said. “By releasing Greg, it allows me the opportunity to do that.” … QB Kevin Glenn is questionable for Friday’s clash with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at McMahon Stadium … DT Micah Johnson and CB Fred Bennett, who both went down in the second half of Friday’s Week 11 win in Edmonton, were full participants Monday. Junior Turner (knee) didn’t seem to be as lucky and wasn’t present. No update was provided … FB Rob Cote (shoulder) also missed practice, but said he’s day-to-day with a “banged-up wing.” … KR Larry Taylor also wandered the field without pads Monday … SB Chris Bauman wasn’t sporting a cast on his broken wrist for the first time since June, but he did not practise, while Spencer Wilson (ankle) was also off.
